Dates revealed for Disney's Star Wars Weekends 2013

The dates for 2013's Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios have been announced.

The Disney Parks blog revealed the special event weekends will run every Friday-Sunday from May 17-June 9.

Guest appearances from the vast Star Wars universe have yet to be announced, but the blog said the same hosts from 2012 will return for 2013.

James Arnold Taylor, the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi on TV's "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" will be the official celebrity host for the weekends while Ashley Eckstein, who voices of the character Ahsoka Tano on the show, will be the host of the event's live show, "Behind the Force," which details for fans the making of the Clone Wars and possibly other parts of the Star Wars universe.

This is the first year Star Wars Weekends will be run under new ownership, so to speak. Walt Disney Co. recently purchased Lucasfilm and owns the rights to Star Wars including plans to release three new films in years to come.
